Krypto was more of a lab subject than a beloved family pet.

I remember at least one comic where he was described as a beloved pet, though

Hustling your parents into an escape rocket is only one thing. Jor-El did so much more. He even had to forego his morning coffee break. In the back up story in Action 381, it was revealed that Jo El converted his thermos flask into a rocket that survived Krypton's destruction. Jimmy brought it into the Daily Planet, not realising it had specks of Kryptonite still on it.

And in an imaginary story in Adventures of Superbaby, it was revealed that King Kong was an early experiment of Jor-El who had gotten trapped in the Phantom Zone and somehow traveled through time and space to end up on Earth, because of the presence of maroon spotted kryptonite.

That would explain the origin of Titano.

Peach Kryptonite is the worst. It makes you speak in a faux Southern accent

And Emerald Kryptonie gives you a horrible Irish accent, and an addiction to Guinness beer

I've never drank alcohol. No desire to. Plus I think that if I did drink, I'd become an alcoholic.

It can be hard to stop once you’ve started. I used to drink alcohol to cope with negative emotions. Once I developed better coping behaviors, I started having an easier time controlling my alcohol intake too

As I said, I don't drink so that is something I really don't have to worry about.

Actors say that the villain role is more fun then the hero role. Tom Hiddleston seems to have a lot of fun playing Loki

I've thought about what it would be like as an actor. I know one of the things I would enjoy most, is being able to pretend I'm someone else - and take roles that don't have to conform to society's expectations.

Ah, Pinocchio. One of my earliest Disney films. But not really a favorite.
Although I disliked Bambi and Jungle Book much, much more.

Of course, these days some people have become too sensitive. I think we should call out improper behavior when we see it, but we should also do so politely and calmly. Sometimes, improper behavior is just ignorance, and often people are genuinely sorry when they realize it was wrong.

It definitely is a balance. But I would rather err on the side of being respectful.

I agree. I would be comfortable escalating if the other person were being rude. And it would be better than telling someone off only to find out the whole thing was an honest mistake
